application descriptor not found

Please tell me how to do it as I am new to AIR programming.

list($a, $b) = array($b, $a);

It works with objects too, not only scalars.

You are correct that getting the first monday in PHP can be simply done using strtotime.

but take note that as it is stated in the documentation,
“In PHP 5 prior to 5.2.7, requesting a given occurrence of a given weekday in a month where that weekday was the first day of the month would incorrectly add one week to the returned timestamp. This has been corrected in 5.2.7 and later versions. ”

because of this, I tried this code: (my php version is 5.2.6)

   strtotime("first monday -1 week");

and it works!

strtotime(“monday october”);

will return the first monday in october. If you want to get the second or third you could do the following:

$first_monday = strtotime(“monday october”);
$third_monday = strtotime(“+2 weeks”, $third_monday);

Sure, these are in epoch time (Seconds from 1/1970) but you can easily convert them using the date() function.

function getStartDay($day,$month,$year){

$firstWeekDay = date(‘d/m/Y’,strtotime(‘First ‘.$day.’ ‘.date(”.$month.’/01/’.$year.”)));
$firstDay = mktime(0,0,0,$month, 1, $year);
$firstDayMonth = date(‘l’, $firstDay);

if ($day==$firstDayMonth) { return “01/”.$month.”/”.$year.”"; }
else { return $firstWeekDay; }

}

echo getStartDay(‘Saturday’,1,2009);

function getStartDay($day,$month,$year){

return date(‘d/m/Y’,strtotime(‘First ‘.$day.’ ‘.date(”.$month.’/01/’.$year.”)));

}

echo getStartDay(‘Monday’,9,2009);
